If one is not going to follow the interp as handed down, the better alternative is to call it the way one's assignor or commissioner wants it called. If we all just called things the way we like or think, there wouldn't BE a game of Basketball. It would be Calvinball, complete with the revenge fouls, the name-calling and the fist fights. Better to fit in to a group, but keep lobbying for change to a position that seems more reasonable.
